As intimated in my letter several weeks

fution such as the country has never seen
before. The fiat which banlshed Father
NcGlYnn from st. Stephens, under ordin-
airy circumstances would have proved any
other priests ecclesiastical death. Not so.
however, with Father M-Glynn, who for
years was almost unknown outside of his
own immediate flock, suddenly he becomes
she cynosure of all eyes, and his name is IA
familiar with men and women Of every de-
gree as Is that OF the President of the
United States. The effort Of Archbishop.
Corrigan to strike down his friends and
sympathizers has awakened spirit of re-
sisiance in many of the regular clergy, be-
fore which even the Archbishop may we'll
stand appalled,, and which, ii lac shall in,

depopulate half the Catholic churches in

and British. These points are clear
as far as ordinary business goes-it is
necessary to thus put the case at first.
If In the ordinary course of trade, the
Chlnaman fails and there has been
any dishonesty, the courts of the king
dom are open to have the NATTER set
straight. But if the failure in bust
ness and consequent loss to the cred
itors comes through the dishonest ac-
ton of the King, who cannot be
brought to justice before any of the
ordinary courts of the country, is there
not good ground for an appeal by the
creditors to the government of their
native land, and is such an appeal
likely to be made in vain?
We have every confidence that such
an appeal would not be in vain In
this piece of rascality in which the
King and Kaae have been engaged,
by which they succeeded in robbing
Ak of $1,000, they never calculated
upon the widespread effects of this
fraud The crime will render the IN
fortunate Chlnaman a bankrupt; his
only chance being that the thieves
may be frightened into disgorging
their plumber. The money Ak Dor
rowed to pay to the King, for the
opium bride, though owed directly to
Cinnamon, isindlrectly owed to Amer
leans, Germans and British. Axis
loss will be really their loss, for they
will not be able to recover their debts.
In the ordinary course Of business
the governments of America, Germany
and England would have nothing to
say in the matter: but when it is rep
resented to them that their subjects
have suffered heavy pecuniary loss
through the dishonest action of the
King, to whom repeated appeals were
made 10 right the wrong that had
been done, and who as repeatedly
turned deaf ear to every form of APP
peal. why. there is little doubt as to
what Will be done. The Hawaiian
King need not hug to his heart the
idea that the United States and Eu
ropean nations do not look out for
their citizens. 1t matters not how
lowly the citizens may be, if it once
can be shown. in proper quarters, that
wrong has been suffered, PREPARATION
is exacted.
We have by no means heard the
last of the $1,000 steal. Its results
are far-reaching, and go far beyond
the nationality of the man who was
robbed. Disgrace indelible, it has
brought upon every one connected
with the Government, from King to
Cabinet AIinister~ but it may reach
deeper than merely fastening disgrace
and dishonor. 1t may result in caus-
ing a complete change in the system
of Hawaiian Government.

Tn various secret societies here
and elsewhere have, we understand,
the right OF nQliring into the con
duct OF their members, and when that
c-.---lssCt II found Je ne thoroughly IN
moral or dishonest. the party accused
is forthwith suspended. We further
believe that this right has been eZer-
cised, and that certain parties il this
city. or on these Islands have been so
dealt with. This wholesome rule has
no doubt, d considerable check upon
all who are members Of such societies.
and we have little doubt, that no mat
ter what the position Of man may
be, the societies will act without the
slightest regard to position, but in
strict accordance with their own laws.
No enquiry seems to have been made
as yet. by any Of the societies as to the
conduct OF the King, and yet it must
) be evident to all members OF any soci-
cites that he belongs to, that very
grave charge has been made against
him, in set terms, calmly, and without
circumlocution, and that he has failed,
or anyone on his behalf has failed to
make any answer. If those charges
are true and that they are true is evi-
denced by the fact that no one dare
reply, and that the proprietors and
editor Of this journal have not been
brought before the courts is
the King unfit, as a man, tC remain a
member of SUCH honorable bodies, and
he should be summary expelled.
1t matters not what mans rank
Is, the days when rank was a cloak
for crime, have happily long since
passed away. We now consider that
the higher a mans position is, the
higher ought his aims in life to be.
The higher mans position is the
deeper the crime, il he commits one.
What might be condoned as a venial
offence In a private man becomes a
glazing crime in man in public
position.
The English royal family under
stand this, and those who have read
anything of the Prince Consort's life,
will know how careful man, of even
his high character and principle was
to give not the slightest cause for a
breath of scandal
We cannot compare King Kalakaua
and the Prince Consort together. but
we can show the contrast. and the
crime Of the former will look the
blacker fer it.

The letter of "a Foreigner" which
appears in this issue throws a light
upon the manner in which Mr.. Glib
son, MIR. Hayselden, and presumably
the King, for the latter threw all his
influence on to the side of these two
men during the last election-have
striven to create race feud on these
Islands. The passages quoted are
instructive as to the methods en-
ployed by the members of this ring,
who stop at no statement, however
wild to gain their ends. This is the
kind of thing that has been going on
for years past, and is it any wonder
that matters have come into the po-
sition they have People, when they
read Will, we know, hardly credit that
these things are facts, but they are
facts. On the one side behold Gibson
blandly smiling at the stranger who
visits our shores, plastering him with
adulation, and expressing his anxiety
to have intelligent Americans and
other foreigners settled on the Isl
ands, explaining that those who are
here already, are a little prejudiced
against him. and on the other hand,
see the wholesale Gbels which are cir
culated by his son-in-law, in order to
keep the status qlo, and enable him
and the son-in-law to grow sleek and
fat out of the peoples funds, tits an
instructive picture.

The Chinese do a large amount of
business with other foreigners of this
country; their transactions are with
bankers, merchants, freighters, dray-
men, etc, and being a speculative
race, they are often largely in debt for
money, for merchandise and other
property. Cinnamon here own but
little land in fee simple, but they pay
good rents-often very high rents to
natives and foreigners. If by their
great industry and prudence the Chi
nese prosper, all those classes who
have dealings with them are benefit
ted. The effect of their success or
failure does not stop with themselves.
If they fail, either as traders or rice
planters or both, the loss is almost
certain to fall largely upon the other
foreign residents, American, German,

A MAN who will wrong an Hawaiian
or a Chinaman. who, he thinks, will
not or cannot retaliate or punish him,
viii do the same to anybody of whom
he is not afraid.
A civilized community cannot afford
to let its least considered members be
injured without resenting 1t. Taking
only the most selfish view Of it, with
out regard to the sense of common
justice and protection to the weaker
classes, it cannot be afforded, for, the
rascal whose offenses and tricks are
overlooked becomes bold, and goes on
from bad to worse, until extreme
measures become necessary, many in
noeent people having suffered in the
mean time.
The damaging effect Of unwhipped
rascality is hard to measure, but it is
certainly very great, and greater In
small communities and where infiuen-
tial parties are the offenders, than in
large communities with ordinary OBJ
scure persons as the criminals,
1t is then. matter for the commun
ity at large to see that proper punish
ment is melted out to the wrong doeI
and oppressor. IL the statute law OF
the Kingdom gives no redress, then
there is a still higher law TO be ap-
pealed to. and one which is never APP
pealed tosinvain: the law whose sen
fence Is pronounced by an outraged
people.

immigration why should we not know
how much had been spent on each of
these three items? As fact, next to
nothing has been done either on roads,
bridges and harbor, and this little
sum of $4,000 is used as neat little
leak, under which an open account
can be kept for making expenditures
under the loan Act which are unau-
thorized, the Government trusting to
luck to be able to repay what they
have borrowed.
The statement, as published by the
Government organ, given below, at
